Scheduled and In-Progress Tasks
The Tasks view provides a convenient way to see all automated contact center tasks that may have been scheduled for periodic execution, such as periodic report generation or automatic start and stop of outbound campaigns. The tasks whose execution has ended appear in the task log.
To view the tasks that have been scheduled for execution and the ones that are currently being executed, select the Scheduled and In-progress Tasks option from the Tasks menu. The scheduled and progress tasks will appear in the list view in the upper portion of the screen. Depending on the type of the selected task, you may be able to see and edit task information and request an immediate execution of this task.
